our kids, our future

[Skean Dhude]

You have to catch them young and hope that they don't get in with a bad crowd. Like everything else there are no guarantees. They watch everything that is going on around them and they see that people are paid not to work they then think why bother.

You just have to keep trying and hope something changes in their minds. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Not sure there is a manual for it but discipline and boundaries at an early age seem to be a big differentiator. I'm sure there is more but whingey whiney 'experts' with dysfunctional kids seem to be the advisors that are listened to the most.
